10 ways of Whet children’s Memory – The ability the memory of each child is different and not solely determined by genetic factors. Any determined by stimulus (stimulation) and the establishment of which was started early on.
The role of parents is very important in the process of its creation. “Must be done in continuous!,” open Septiana Runikasari, Psi. Here’s a surefire trick of Psychologists from LPTUI:
1. pay attention to nutrient intake
Memory is a part of children’s cognitive and physiological factors affected by (physical) and the environment. Parents should pay attention for food intake – related to the development of the brain and other organs of fetuses is still in the beginning until the content was born. If the content is problematic, it will affect the development of the fetus, especially the brain.
Satisfied intake of nutrients, vitamins, folic acid is to stimulate a child’s brain will finally affect his memory. If nutrition unfulfilled – iron for example – the child will easily sleepy. As a result he is not optimal when received or given information.
2. Sufficient oxygen
Need for oxygen is also important. If the oxygen supply is fulfilled then the blood circulation will be smooth given the toddlers more outdoor activities, so that it will support the process of his cognitive. The ability of the memory of the son is increasing.
3. Bearing in mind while singing
A lot of ways it can be done to improve memory and sharpening sharpness of thought of the child. One of them learned while singing. Things simple was able to provide the stimulus on the sharpness of memory such as remember the colors, letters, numbers, through the song.
4. Bearing in mind the object
The child is still in the process of cognitive development, hence the invite children remember something would have to use a thing (the media) are concrete. The child will be more easy to understand using the props rather than only with words. For example in the form, colour, or kickstart symbols visually.
5. Memorizing through storytelling
Read out the little book of stories before bed. Once done, invite your child to return given the storyboard story, like character names, place names and so on. By repetition, long accustomed to listening to and child will record it in their memory. In addition to the book the story can also use a puppet hand, pictures that can be fit snugly or improvised parent.
6. Impersonating movement
Physical activity at the age of a toddler is indispensable to develop sensor and motor as one way to explore the environment. This can be utilized to simultaneously provide the stimulus given to the child’s ability.
How, he mimicked the motion invite your Moms. For example, jump, run. When the child is successful, proceed to the stage that is more difficult with more movement. Consequently, the child will get used to remembering something he quickly and is able to ‘ call out ‘ his memory back.
7. Associate form
If Moms want to introduce the different types of numbers in the small, associate certain shapes using with the hope children will easily remember it. Example, Figure 2 relate gratitude as duck form, the number 4 as the bench upside down.
8. Toys using the procedure
If you want to introduce toys, choose toys suitable to stimulate the child’s memory. Recommend toys which has procedures for example; snakes ladders, monopoly, and so on. So emphasize on the procedure, what to do in the first stage, and where and what’s next, there is a repetition of the increments. Then the child shall be given such a repetition.
9. given the passing images, sounds, and movements
There are several types of learning for children, through visual (pictures), auditif (song/voice), or kinesthetic (movement/props). This is to watch out for! For kids with type learn visually, she would be interested in something that is its shape (picture) – see instantly. For example, if you want to tell you about a tree, not only use words, but also there must be a picture.
For a child with a learning type of auditory or kinaesthetic, he will easily memorize something through sound or movement. For example, in the story there is a movement run around, get the child was running around. For children who are easy to learn by movement, part when she was running around, it will unlock the memory. Well, through storytelling, there is usually a combination of visual, and kinesthetic auditif, recounting the moment the child.
10. the concept of mind mapping
The concept of mind mapping can be Moms teach when already getting to know the shape, color, visual symbols. In this way do not have to use words, but rather use pictures. For example, introduce the concept of home. At home it’s usually there are cabinets, doors, tables, chairs, window. Then on the home page, there are tree, grass, or flowers. All it has to be spelled out in the form of pictures.
Other items may be Moms teach with these methods such as human body parts or car. In doing so, the little memory already trained early on and can help the learning process when he attended the elementary school where she doesn’t have to be memorized. That’s it 10 ways of Whet children’s Memory, I hope you enjoy it.
